    Microsoft's Video Marketplace

    Wouldn't this stimey their HD-DVD drive sales? I guess it's gonna depend on the content available for download which makes you wonder just how good the download content will be. But still, I hope it turns out to be as good as it sounds.

    SuperBowl XLI

    Things are really getting heated over in the Pit due to the upcoming elections so I thought I'd come here for some easy and fun debate like who's going to the SuperBowl this year. On the surface it would be easy to say Indy vs. Chicago but I think Indy is hanging on by a thread, they'll be...

    Dish CSR's really have gone downhill

    I worked as a CSR for a computer software and hardware reseller. Our 'jobs' were to assists the customers with Order Status. But the sales manager used us as more as interference blockers between the customers and the sales reps once their order was signed. I know not all companies work that...

    Dish CSR's really have gone downhill

    not enough competition maybe? It seems to me the big guys in any marketplace (retail, auto, TV, OIL ) tend to collude behind the scenes with each other in order to control their markets leading to no competition between themselves. No competition leads to being able to cut corners, i.e. hiring...

    Resolution and frame rate confusion

    Ok, I think I've got it. At least enough to know that it can be done. The day will come when I can upgrade my set to 1920 x 1080p and not worry about it anymore. Thanks for answering my question.:)

    Resolution and frame rate confusion

    I think I understand resolution and frame rate from what I've read on this forum but my understanding is leaving one big question in my head so Im missing something. Could someone confirm my interpretation below: 1920 x 1080i = 1920 pixels displayed horizontally on 1080 lines which alternate...

    Sammy upconverter vs. HD-DVD

    Sammy upconverter vs. HD-DVD, which is better? Ok, I have a Samsung DVD-HD931 that can upconvert to 720p and 1080i. My TV is a Samsung HLN5065WX/XAA. (1280 x 720). Watching DVDs look great. From all the information overload that I've been trying to sort through am I correct to say that...

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    How long will this take? By the time the lawyers finish all their jabbering, delays, and legalese junk, it will be years down the road before this gets resolved. And new technology may make all this moot. Im not a lawyer so I could be wrong and thats my 2 red cents.

    Verizon VA Info

    Pwc Neabsco is one of the oldest neighborhoods in PWC along Rte 1. but I figured Verizon would move through the newer neighborhoods in the western half of the county first, oh well thats probably why Im not a Developer. Im in Lake Ridge so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for now. :up

    Verizon VA Info

    Pr. William County, Woo Hoo! It may not be my exact street but at least they're starting to get into Prince William County. E* local HD on NBC looked horrible for football yesterday while Fox was better. Can't wait to jump on the FIOS wagon. :hungry:
